I agree! They had THREE "first come, first served"/get in line tasks. Ugh. This Leg could've been a disaster, but the teams, SURPRISINGLY saved it and made it the best episode this season so far!
The teams have been pretty bland so far, partly because of the focus on Texas vs. Green. But with the rivalry taking a backseat this Leg, it gave time for every single team to get a chance to be featured. It was great.
Marionete:
So much happened this leg. :cheer:
Overall, I'm happy and this was DEFINITELY the best leg of the season so far. Nevertheless, it was just because of the teams and the mistakes they made, so I still have some negative things to say about this leg.
First of all, I agree that this time there was a lot LESS focus on Texas vs. Green, but the episode still began with that and the ENTIRE recap was about their rivalry. For me, it set a bad tone for the episode.
I really liked something that was posted here and I want to stress it even more: the tasks were basically tourist attractions, not challenges. And the only "challenging" one was the paddling one, which also proved rather easy. :groan:
Roadblock was great and after a KOR I didn't mind the slight bunching that happened due to the teams having to wait in line. However, the detour continued the linear trend and there was no true challenge in it.
I don't really want to say anything about the lion encounter, because I've read a lot of negative things about that task on TAR's facebook page and I don't know what to think. If what's being posted is true, then the inclusion of this task is really sad. :(
What got me frustrated was the thought that had teams not had any screw-ups like TrackStars not reading their clues or Papparazi/Chacattack missing their roadblock location, this leg would have been SO FRIGGIN BORING. And there was 0 possibility for any team to catch up during the tasks, because they always had to wait for those in front.
Marionete:
Btw, Denise is hilarious and Logan & Chris bickering and then reflecting on their bickering is giving some new life to this season.
And I forgot to mention how awesome balancing fruit on heads to the pitstop was :<3 Saved the episode and created amazing pitstop drama.

I just noticed that the scream of Tiffany when she fell at the roadblock was played agian when she was feeding the crocodile :funny:
